  • Photoshop resolution on Macbook Pro 15" Retina display too small

    I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%)
    If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly  – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display
    Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see?
    There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light.

    Well that certainly helps in terms of making the image larger – only problem is with the low resolution there's a loss of clarity and pixelisation of the image; so not the same level of quality...
    In System Preferences/Display, what resolution do you have your screen set to? Try changing that also to see if the two settings can work together. Also, since the vast majority of users (Mac or PC) don't have Retina Displays, isn't what you're seeing with Low Resolution checked in Photoshop closer to what most people will see? Remember that Apple's software, such as Safari, have been upgraded to take full advantage of the rMBP display; most other browsers, especially in Windows, haven't.
    And if you want to tinker with the rMBP's resolution even further, check out "Eye-Friendly" in the App Store.

  • How to fix resolution problem in Photoshop CC for Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display

    I design email promotions for my website in Photoshop CC on a new Macbook w/ retina screen. However, document sizes appear much smaller in my Macbook than they did on my windows laptop. A 700px wide document now appears to be 350px wide.
    When I designed the email graphics, upload, and then view in a browser, everything is pixelated. The document/graphic is still 700px, but its pixelated in the browser. After some Googling, I have a better understanding of the problem but not a complete understanding. Its all so technical. I've read that some designers choose to create their graphics with another lower resolution monitor connected to their Macbook (if I explained that correctly)... not an option for me, though, unfortunately.
    How can I fix this problem? I basically design for the web so its important that these graphics are at their highest resolution when viewed on a web browser. Any solutions? Help! I will try everything in my power. 

    First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to try to help out. It
    is much appreciated.
    The two things that first come to mind are: I have many friends in the
    industry who paint solely in Photoshop and do just fine. My computer is
    technically "old," but the specs are still just fine—even the graphics card
    is the exact same one that is in the new Cintiq Companions (the all-in-one
    computer/cintiq machines).
    And, more so, I was painting on it for a few weeks without noticing
    anything. A part of me wonders, did I just not notice it until it became
    dramatically worse?
    I do remember painting fur, which requires making tons of small brush
    strokes over an extended period of time, and I don't remember there being
    any lag.
    By the way, I forgot to mention: I've even tried going into the Performance
    preferences and disabling the graphics card altogether. No luck. Still an
    issue.
    As far as painting at 100%: I do notice an amount of improvement. The one
    brush stamp, or space, whatever you call it, issue only happened on the
    first brush stroke (every time) and then just once otherwise. The lag was
    tremendous—and I compared it to Painter's performance, which had no issues
    whatsoever.
    I am really hoping to be able to rely on Photoshop more and more, as its
    tools for other aspects of image manipulation are far more robust than
    Painter's. And the working compatibility with Adobe InDesign, Flash, and
    Adobe Media Encoder are sooooooo useful for speeding up the workflow.
    Hopefully we can find out what's going wrong.
    I'm truly baffled on this one.

  • Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display, please?
    Have searched Adobe website for answer - most recent is 2013 answer, saying no.
    Contradicted by a staff ember who only referred to Photoshop, not Elements.
    Reason I need it is that iPhoto does not support very high resolution photos - which I have now scanned onto my MacBook and do not want to re-scan!! After 90 minutes at my local Genius bar (lovely folk, very conscientiously searching for an answer...), re-scanning was their final piece of advice.
    Help, please...

    Hello Smis,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Monitor on your MAC. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Updating a Monitor Driver, where it states under the sub-heading Using HP monitors on a Mac "HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
    This being said all I can advise is that you check to see that the monitor is set to operat at 60Hz and contact Apple for assistance if that does not get your monitor displaying correctly.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • Will elements 11 work with Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

    I am thinking of buying a Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
    I am wondering if Photoshop Elements 11 will work OK with this as I have heard there is a problem.  Any suggestions of how to make them compatible would be appreciated.  I really don't need anything more complicated than elements for what I do so don't want to spend out on one of the CS programmes.
    Thanks

    Yes, it will work like any other program that isn't optimized for the display (in other words, okay, but not as well as if it had been).

  • Photoshop CC on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display - 3d greyed out

    I have a 2.7 GHZ intel core i7 macbook pro with Retina display. 1024 mb of VRAM. Video cards: Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Built in) and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (PCIe). 16GB of RAM on the computer.
    My 3D menu and panel in Photoshop CC is greyed out. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop and I'm still having the problem. Can anyone else offer a suggestion as to why this might be happening?
    Thanks!
    Jonathan

    PS does not like two dissimilar gpu's.  Try disabling the Intel the check the gpu setting in preferences/performance.

  • I plan to buy a MacBook Pro with retina display and I already own and use Photoshop CS 5 on my PC?

    I plan to buy and use a MacBook Pro with Retina display and I already own and use the PS CS 5 on my PC window-based. How can I obtain a copy of CS 5 for my MacBook Pro?
    Message was edited by: CHARNCHAN.  That is without having to buy another copy for the Mac!

    Not sure why you'd want CS5 for your new Mac with Retina display.
    Retina support was first added to Photoshop in CS6 version 13.0.3
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/01/retina-display-support-and-photoshop-cs6.html
    So, assuming you own standalone Photoshop CS5 (and you're running at least Windows 7 on your PC) then your best option - for optimal display on your Mac - might be to subscribe to the Photoshop Photography Program for $9.99/month
    https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom?sdid=KIHZP
    Then you'll get Photoshop CC + Lightroom 5 + extras and you can run them both on your Mac and Windows (2 installs permitted regardless of operating system) for the same $9.99 monthly fee.
    If you don't want to subscribe then your other option would be to buy a separate CS6 license for Mac (paying full price).

  • Photoshop Elements 12 blurry on MBP Retina Display

    I downloaded Photoshop elements 12 on my new macbook pro with retina display and EVERYTHING is blurry. Elements is currently updated completely. Is retina display still not supported?

    Hi Barbara I´ve done what you suggested and I´m having the same problem. Its freezed. Is there any way I can download the update? I´m
    stuck with a Photoshop that doesnt work. Adobe says that they cant help without a serial number and apple doesnt let me update. This is the most bizarre I have lived in terms of software.

  • Macbook Pro with Retina display overheating

    I just bought a 13.3" Macbook pro with retina display yesterday and it's been overheating like crazy. Right now I have only Chrome open with this page and it's uncomfortable to put this computer on my lap right now. I watched youtube videos last night and I could hear the fan, when normally this machine is extremely quiet. I'm afraid that because this computer runs so hot, it's going to damage the display. Is there something defective with this machine, or are all the ones in this model the same? Should I get the regular 2012 model instead? 

    I bought my Macboook Pro with Retina Display laptop during Christmas, only use it about < 10 times because I have other MACs that I've gotten used to. 
    OSX 10.8.2
    15" Retina display
    1.8 GHz Intel Core i7
    4GB 1333 MHz DDR
    A month ago, after not using it for several weeks, I picked up the laptop to move around.  Wow - the box was hot like it just came out from the oven Literally - this macbook pro was not used at all - just laying idling, no programs used and was sitting in a dark corner in a room, not exposed to sun or any heat or warm area.  I wasn't motivated in using it since.  So, it was left laying around the house again.
    Today, my son tried to use the laptop - when he touched it, he jumped 'ouch' as the laptop was hot for no reason. Again, not exposed to any warm elements or anything that is running that could have caused it to be hot.
    I should have read all reviews on here - I now resented not returning this macbook pro notebook.  I don't have time to go back and forth to the Genius and sitting at the bar waiting and wasting my time for something that I just paid and expect it work properly and not wasting my time.  Please do something to help regain my confidence in Mac products.  Not happy here!  I guess I'll have to sit at the genius bar anyway.  But just want to chime in that I have the same Macbook Pro overheating problem.

  • CS6 problems on Macbook Pro with retina display

    I just bought a Macbook Pro with retina display and Adobe CS6. After installing CS6, I noticed everything is pixelated. Any popup or lettering or words are pixelated and so are the brushed. I am not just talking about the fonts, but any word in the program. I use the program at school and everything is crisp and clear. Are my settings wrong or is there an update I need?

    Its the creative suite w photoshop, illustrator, indesign etc. it's like that on all of them but I'm specifically talking about photoshop.

  • Last update Problems on Macbook Pro with retina display

    After installing OS X.8.2 last update (9/20) my MacBook Pro with retina display crashes in Finder and Parallels. Do you know how can I solve this problem?

  • Can "Sims 3" and its' expansions pack be played on the Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display?

    I am thinking about purcashing the new Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display. I would like to know if  "Sims 3" and its' expansions packs are playable on this mac with the assistance of an Apple USB Superdrive.

    Yes, The Sims 3 and all its expansions are perfectly playable on the MacBook Pro with Retina display (though I don't recommend installing it using Remote Disc as it will take a couple of hours at best to completely install everything).
    Playing it at 2880 x 1800 makes everything look great... except for the incredibly small UI elements. The game looks slightly fuzzy at 1440 x 900, which is to be expected given how Apple handles scaling with the Retina display. If you can't live with the fuzziness, you'll have to find a happy medium between 1440 x 900 and 2880 x 1800. And hey, if you decide you can play it at 2880 x 1800, more power to you!

  • How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?

    How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?
    Alternatively how do I connect an audio input at a level that would normally have gone into a 'line input' socket ?

    Plug it into the linein/headphone jack if there's just one.  It'll switch between the two modes automatically depending on what you plug into it.

  • The quality of built-in camera on macbook pro with retina display is far worse than any other mac. Why?

    I just got the new macbook pro with retina display like a week ago and I've been noticing that the quality of the built-in camera on it is so bad.
    It's even worse than my 2009 iMac or my sister's 2012 13" macbook pro. I don't get why this is a facetime HD built-in camera when i can obviously see that is not even near HD. Or is it just my computer. Do i have to bring it to the apple store??

    it's advertised 720p so yes it is the same as all the other MBP.  it may just be the resolution of your monitor is stretching the pixels.  Don't worry about bringing it to the apple store. 

  • Is there a way to digitize audio using the headphone input on the 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with Retina display?

    I'd like to digitize audio from a minidisc player into my 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with retina display, but can't see a way to change the internal mic input.  I understand that previous MacBooks allowed the headphone jack to double as a mic input, but mine doesn't seem capable of switching.  I've tried using a mini to mini cable, with no luck, and also tried using a headset splitter adapter (3.5 mm 4-pin to 2x3-pin 3.5 mm headset splitter adapter from Amazon) because I read that that would allow me to plug in headphones and input audio.  But in both cases, the only "input" available in my sound preferences is the built-in internal microphone.  Am I missing something?  Is there a way to digitize audio through the headphone jack? 

    Not likely. headphone jacks are usually output only devices unless specifically stated to support input, and even then, it may not be audio input that they support, but merely control input for volume and such.
    You can get a USB audio input instead. i.e:
